Sedona trails: 3 day weekend

I know I’m late to this thread, but powerline is a pretty fun trail and actually has two challenging spots if you pick the hard lines.

I wish I could upload my personal “favorites” in Google Maps. I have a lot of trails mapped out that many are unaware of. I’ll try to figure that out. Anyways, this has most of the mentioned trails on it.

Here is an image of all the trails I have mapped. Like I said, I’ll see how I can share these.

 

Well after all the trail riding i ended up getting stuck in a ditch on my way out of camp. 100% avoidable, 100% my fault. Waved down a dude in a Ram who pulled me out

4lo maxtrax and shovel didnt cut it

My girlfriend really wanted to rent a Rzr and we had a lot of fun in that too

 

Which trails did you do?

 

Schnebly Hill, Dry Creek bed to hike Devil’s Bridge (bridge was absolutely mobbed), ripped around Diamondback Gulch in the RZR- so much fun.

Never ended up getting to Broken Arrow unfortunately, time flew by and we rented the Rzr the day i was planning to do Broken Arrow so we decided to just rip around in the Rzr. I’ll have to come back and earn that badge of honor for the Taco another day. I planned on hitting Soldier’s Pass before leaving town but I guess I decided nose diving into a huge ditch was a better idea

 

I second this list. I would also recommend Schnebley Hill for some top quality views. Just make sure you air down....a lot....its a really bumpy road.

 

Where abouts? I worked in Luna, Reserve, Apache Creek, Aragon. Love that area

 

Man there’s so many little towns if could have been but you got it- Reserve

 

Is Ellah's still there? Loved that green chile smothered breakfast burrito.

Anyone think this loop would be good for someone who enjoys some higher speed "offroading" as well? I know some of this is just FR.

 

I ran it in my Yamaha YXZ a few years ago and had a fine time.

If you want road-like conditions, Bill Grey Rd (FR 761 on your map), FR 258, Sycamore Canyon Rd are probably better choices in the area. FR 525, which your map shows as part of your loop, is mostly gravel road as well.

 

Outlaw trail is fun, but it’s not high speed. Bill Gray road, buckboard road, sycamore canyon road are more high speed as they are larger roads. Ranch loop is a trail you could run at higher speed through most if it.

One thing to please remember is to stay on the trail. There are a lot of people who run these trails in Razors at higher speeds and the trails get more rotten and wider. There are some areas that the USFS has closed to motorized vehicles because of people not staying on the trail.
This sucks for the locals around here as the tourists rent razors, trash the trails in the spirit of having fun, and we are left with the restrictions. (Not all visitors do this, but enough that it is worth pointing out)

so all I ask is that if you want to do some high speed runs, stick to the larger roads and stay off the trails that aren’t intended to be ripped around on.

 

@boston23 when you p,an to come back out, hit me up. We will make a day of it. Broken Aarow and a few other good trails.

 

Yeah man! Ella’s is still open and it’s always packed haha

Hell yeah, hopefully this Spring or Summer

 

Not that there's a whole lot in Reserve, but yes to this! I'm pretty sure it was that burrito and the Cosmic Campgrounds that caused me to stay a second night. This was about 1 year ago to the day.

 

For the OP, @Beancooker ... How do you access Powerline? Its so far out there. I'd like to come in from the south if possible.

 

Got it! 89A has access from the south, but I came in from the north anyways.
